Wine of the Week: Colonia Las Liebres Mendoza Classic Bonarda

Anyone who has been a malbec fan for a while and hasn't tried Argentina's other swell red grape, bonarda, is seriously missing out. Especially when a gem such as the Colonia Las Liebres Mendoza Classic Bonarda 2015 costs a mere $11. This spicy delight really brings the plum on the nose and palate, along with a dandy combination of richness and acidity, smoothness and oomph. The robustness reigns from start to finish, making it a splendidly timely option for our unrelenting winter. That provides a fine match for roasted or braised meats and veggies, but keep some around for grilled burgers and brats or even takeout pizza.
